Mazinho – Rafinha could part ways with Barcelona in January

Rafinha’s father Mazinho has suggested that the Brazilian could make way from Barcelona when the transfer window reopens at the turn of the year. The 25-year-old has recently been in the Blaugrana mix, having been involved in three of the club’s previous five league matches but there remain genuine concerns regarding the gametime with the Catalan giants.

As such, he once more finds himself in a predicament heading into the New Year and a winter departure appears a possible option to enhance his prospects of regular gametime. Meanwhile, Barcelona saw their good run of form stutter after a rather shock 4-3 defeat at the hands of Real Betis but they have the chance to put things right when they make the trip to Atletico Madrid after the international break.
